The whole wheel offset confuses me, can some one help me out. The car is standard hight and I just want to bring the wheels out level with the arches. I've been looking at work emotion D9R. Also is it best to stay 17 x 7 or go to 8? Again I haven't a clue about offsets for either widths. Any help would be much appreciated 😃 Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I remember you posted this on Ycuk, still have a soft spot for yaris after having a couple. Intresting stuff will be watching this thread. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Would you be about next weekend? Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Wish I'd seen this, bloody missed it again Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Will these fit with standard suspension Lauren? Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Haha 😂 Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the help (still rather confused 😂), it will be lowered eventually, I just want wheels first as the stock ones are awful haha. I think I'll take a look at what I can get in 17x8 35 as you said above Deacon, as lowering won't be for a while and I just want something new on. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

The front is awful, it's to rounded off now Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I've never taken mine through a wash or allowed anyone else to wash it from new and have always washed it carefully but still see plenty of swirls in the sunshine - it's the nature of modern soft points/lacquer unfortunately. What you could try though is a filler glaze before you wax as that should get rid of most of them. I like Autoglym Super Resin Polish, but for a black car I don't think you can do better than Poorboys Black Hole, it's an easy wipe on wipe off and then layer your wax on top (which will help it last longer - but any filler glaze is always a temporary (2 or 3 months) solution. Also if you don't already give it a clay once or twice a year before glaze/wax as a good prep - the G3 clay mitt (Halfords) is really easy, use your normal car shampoo to keep it wet and gently glide it across the panels and it picks up all the crud/old wax leaving a perfectly clean and smooth surface in a matter of minutes. Thanks for the tips, I'll give the poor boys a go, I've heard alot of good reviews of there products 😀 I always hand wash my cars, so hopefully it won't get any worse Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

That's pic of mine if it helps? Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I wouldn't want to risk a machine as I've never used one myself, I'd rather get someone to correct it that knows what they are doing, then I can just keep on top of cleaning it properly. I have polished it a bit by hand and it's alot better than it was. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I've just waxed mine with dodo juice purple haze (for dark paint) and it's come up pretty good, I still want to get it detailed/polished as the previous owner must of took it through a car wash or something it's a bit swirly. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I had a yaris before mine and it's a nice step up, I saved for mine for a few years like you're planning and bought mine a few month back, you won't regret it, great cars 😀 Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I'm not going to make this unfortunately as I have a call out for work in the morning Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

I'm still not sure if I'll make this but will try, all depends on work Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

It would look good all green. ^ 😀 Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Blacks a swine to keep clean, going in for paint correction soon, it's a bit swirly. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

This is great! love the write up, very intresting, always wanted to move in to 3D cad, from programing. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Thanks for the info guys, with the coilovers at that height do I need to change anything else on the suspension? I've only had fixed axel cars before so it's all new to me. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

See now that's how I want mine to look, but still be practical. I love your wheels by the way they suit it well. I was just going to go for springs but I know I won't be happy with them never have on other cars. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

This is not far from me, I'll have to see if I'm working but would be nice to meet a few people with me being a newbie. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk

Just a quick question for the lowered daily drivers, what's a good height to go and still be able to tackle all the humps and bumps? I had coilovers on my last car and I had it ridiculously low and was pretty undrivable, I want to be able to drive it everywhere. Sent from my E6853 using Tapatalk
